Overview
In May 1987, the church meeting approved the principle of holding a Third World Project. This was the first of what was to become an annual event in the church calendar.
We have raised money for a different project in the developing world since 1987. The project brings together young and old to learn how we can help others and in doing so we learn about other countries, cultures, religions and the difficulties people face. We want to raise awareness in our congregation about the plight of our fellow man across the world. We hope to show how we care for others and share the love of God.
